30. Modules & Swift Exploring Clang Modules – Samuel Giddins @ try! Swift Tokyo 2018 30
31. But my Swift code doesn't have headers... Exploring Clang Modules – Samuel Giddins @ try! Swift Tokyo 2018 31
32. But my Swift code doesn't have headers... It does ! Exploring Clang Modules – Samuel Giddins @ try! Swift Tokyo 2018 32
33. swiftc Understands .swiftmodule Files Exploring Clang Modules – Samuel Giddins @ try! Swift Tokyo 2018 33
34. The Mixed Framework Process 1. Compile all .swift files 2. Generate ModuleName-Swift.h in the (empty) .framework 3. "Extend" existing module map with .Swift submodule 4. Compile .m files Exploring Clang Modules – Samuel Giddins @ try! Swift Tokyo 2018 34
35. Extended Module Maps module ModuleName.Swift { header "ModuleName-Swift.h" requires objc } Exploring Clang Modules – Samuel Giddins @ try! Swift Tokyo 2018 35
36. Same-Module Imports Superclass.m #import <ModuleName/ModuleName-Swift.h> Subclass.swift // nothing to import! Exploring Clang Modules – Samuel Giddins @ try! Swift Tokyo 2018 36
37. Same-Module Imports swiftc Useful.swift -module-name UsefulFramework -import-underlying-module -emit-module -emit-objc-header -Xcc -fmodule-map-file="UsefulFramework.modulemap" Exploring Clang Modules – Samuel Giddins @ try! Swift Tokyo 2018 37
38. Swift Static Libraries in CocoaPods All of the changes needed: https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/pull/6966 Exploring Clang Modules – Samuel Giddins @ try! Swift Tokyo 2018 38
39. Are Modules the Future? • Tied to headers • Swift module stability • Still confusing • Better than C Exploring Clang Modules – Samuel Giddins @ try! Swift Tokyo 2018 39
40. Some Resources • Clang Docs https://clang.llvm.org/docs/Modules.html • Clang Source https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang/blob/master/include/clang/ Basic/Module.h • CocoaPods Source https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/blob/master/lib/ cocoapods/generator/module_map.rb • Trial & Error Exploring Clang Modules – Samuel Giddins @ try!
